He retires maimed for life.

Says our correspondent:

"In addition to the number of killed, wounded and missing reported by the Cos. (496) there has been three field officers severely wounded and Captain Jackson acting as Major made prisoners; two pickets thirty-four and fourteen in number captured by cavalry; four or five men killed by accidental discharge of fire arms, two drowned, and a very considerable number died of disease, and still more discharged on account of disability contracted in the service; the few now left, March 1864, with the flag fit for duty, less than two hundred, are equal to Napoleon's, Wellington's, or any other

veteris.

"There has always been one remarkable feature in the 221 Regiment, whilst other regiments were divided by jealousy and quarreling among officers, there has scarcely been a serious case of dis

agreement between any two officers, and promotions have, as a general thing been made harmoniously, and given satisfaction to both officers and prisoners.

THE FORTIETH.

319 to Jefferson Barracks, where it remained in camp fifteen days. The men were armed with Harper's Ferry rifled muskets, and on the 31st again were on the march. On the next day they were conveyed by transports to Paducah, where they remained some time under the training of General C. F. Smith. The 40th was brigaded with the 23d Indiana, 8th Missouri and 9th Illinois, under Col. W. H. L. Wallace. Early in November they were marched within twelve miles of Columbus, when they were ordered back-a march which seems to have been made not in the best of order. They remained at Paducah until after the surrender of Forts Henry and Donelson.

General W. T. Sherman was placed in command at Paducah, and made all exertion to prepare his troops for field service. The 40th was brigaded with the 48th Indiana and 46th Ohio, Col. Hicks commanding the brigade, Lieut.-Colonel Boothe the regiment.

On the 6th of March, 1862, the troops welcomed the order to strike tents and set out for Savannah, Tenn. A portion of the 40th landed at Savannah, March 8th, and was, with part of the Ohio 46th, the advance of the army of the Union. This place they occupied, awaiting the arrival of the main force. The permanent camps were made at Pittsburg Landing. Sergeant Hart, in his "History of the 40th," says:

"Monday, March 17th. At 1 o'clock a. M. all were ordered to go ashore with two days' rations in their haversacks in trim for marching. The 6th Iowa infantry was there attached to our brigade, and their commander, Col. John Adair McDowell, being Col. Hick's senior, took command of the brigade. We moved about four miles from the landing and halted in an open field, where we remained over night, sending out pickets, who were stationed at a meetinghouse belonging to the Methodist denomination. Thus the 40th boys were the first Union soldiers that stood picket at the Shiloh church.'

Sunday, the 6th, was a bloody day to the 40th. The regiment, in battle line, advanced to meet the enemy, but the line was broken on the left, and McDowell's brigade, which was on the extreme right in front, was compelled to retreat or be cut off and probably captured. A retreat was ordered and the column slowly retired, receiving and returning the enemy's fire. At 2 o'clock Gen. Sherman

ordered Col. Hicks to storm, and, if possible, capture a battery, with which the enemy was slaughtering his troops. Immediately the order "Charge," was given, and the regiment went forward in the face of the deadly hail. Many were killed in this fearful charge, and others severely wounded. One-half the regiment was here, in a few moments, placed hors de combat. Col. Hicks fell severely wounded, while bravely leading his command. Capt. Hooper, Co. D, was instantly killed. The Colonel was borne from the field and the order was given to retreat, when it was ascertained that the battery was too strongly supported to be stormed by one reduced regiment. The 40th retired a short distance and remained in position during the day, pouring a deadly fire upon the enemy at every opportunity. At night it took a position in support of the line of siege guns in front of Pittsburg Landing, with nothing to eat, tired and hungry, and the cold ground their bed. Forty of their number that day were killed, and a hundred and fifty others were suffering from wounds, some of them yet on the field or in the hands of the enemy. Their Colonel was severely wounded by a musket ball in his left shoulder. It was a dreary night spent near the river, in line and under arms.

Early on the morning of the 7th, the regiment was ordered forward to support a reserve battery in General Nelson's division. It was brought into action twice during the day, once for nearly two hours, and resulting in driving the enemy from his position. The regiment was in front at 2 r. M., on the left of General Nelson's division, when the enemy finally gave way. At night the entire regiment was posted, on picket guard, in front, with orders to keep a sharp look-out in every direction. Forty prisoners were captured and brought in during the night. Major Smith was in command of the regiment, Lieut.-Colonel Boothe being too unwell to take the field on the morning of the 7th. At night Major Smith was taken violently sick and the command devolved upon Capt. Hall, of Co. A. Morning at length dawned, and with it came a detail for the entire regiment for fatigue duty, and all were required to engage in buryng the dead. The entire day, April 8th, was spent in burying friend and foe in one common grave-yard. While thus engaged, night again found the regiment on the battle-field. It was the reality of
